Keeping Your Golf Motor Running

Your body is just like a car. If you use cheap oil, cheap gas, crummy parts, and drive t-shirts hell out of it, your engine is likely to break down. You are ortho evra lawyer if you think you can just roll out of bed, play 36 holes with your buddies and think your body won't break down. Your body needs the right fuel before and after you play. Think of it this way if you treat your body like a Ferrari than you will have optimal performance, treat your body like dilapidated piece of junk you will crash.

Fruit (always better to have natural sugar before noon for energy)

Vegetables (yes, even for breakfast)

Complex Carbohydrates (whole-wheat bagels, oats, couscous, rice are great examples)

Protein (eggs, soy, chicken or turkey breast)

Have some slow cooked oatmeal mixed with fruit such as bananas, blueberries, and strawberries, instead of sugar based cereals. Fresh juice or low fat milk are great substitutes instead of coffee.
